Someone must have written the offer that made Barry Manilow sing. The crooner-pianist-producer has sold his beachfront compound in Malibu for $5.45 million.

Built in 1976, the gated contemporary sits on a promontory with a detached guesthouse. Features include a step-down two-story living room with walls of glass to take in the ocean view, vaulted ceilings, five bedrooms, 41/2 bathrooms and 3,546 square feet of living space.

Manilow, 69, is a prolific song and ad jingle writer. He won a pop vocal Grammy in 1978 for "Copacobana (at the Copa)." Among his hit recordings were "Mandy," "Could It Be Magic" and "I Write the Songs."

He paid $3.85 million for the property a decade ago, public records show.
